I chose to use the colors in the gorgeous Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper; Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Vanilla and Mint Macaron. This pretty paper was out of stock but it's back now; get it here while you can!
Details:
The pumpkins are fussy cut from one of the sheets in the Gilded Autumn DSP
The leaves are inked in Cajun Craze and Mint Macaron and stamped off once or more for a lighter hue
the greeting tag is die-cut with the Ornate Frames dies.
The grass image on the bottom is from the Field of Flowers stamp set
This set is returning in the 2024 Annual Catalog and I'm super glad! It's wonderful for both sympathy or thinking of you cards. And the best part is it's super easy to create with. See the Quiet Reflection set here.
My colors include Shaded Spruce & Starry Sky (retiring In Color). I used a few dies also – Thoughtful Expressions (retired and sold out now) and Garden Meadows dies seen here (for the arch).
Do you know how I achieved the two-toned image of green trees with blue water? It's so simple!
How it's done: I placed my stamp set with the rubber face up. I inked up one half with Starry Sky ink (tapping the rubber with the ink pad) and then the other half with Shaded Spruce. The nice thing about doing this technique with this particular stamp image is that when you place your greeting strip across the image it covers up any white space left un-inked.
I added a few of the Gold Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds seen here. I love these so much! They're super thin and don't add any bulk to your projects.
In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.
Gorgeous ways to add color to the Quiet Reflection stamp; with video & free project sheet
Today I'm sharing one of the projects I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Quiet Reflection stamp set and ways you can add color to the solid image.
You can see this stamp set online here. It's not retiring; it will return in the new Annual Catalog. It's a beautiful sympathy set.
I chose to use Starry Sky with Shaded Spruce. The dies are the Thoughtful Expressions dies and sadly they are already out of stock; they were on the retiring list and they've sold out.
Notice the two toned image here. This one is simply a matter of inking in Blue and stamping. Then ink a sponge dauber in green ink and dab over the stamped image. So easy!
In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image. I'll share the card on the right below tomorrow.
